eSIM and the Advancement of Connected Cars in IoT

The emergence of eSIM technology has revolutionized the landscape of connected cars in the Internet of Things (IoT). With traditional SIM cards, the process of connecting cars to cellular networks was often complex and time-consuming. However, the integration of eSIMs has simplified this process, enabling seamless connectivity and enhancing the overall user experience.

The utilization of eSIM in connected cars has opened up a plethora of opportunities and benefits. One significant advantage is the ability to remotely provision and manage connectivity profiles. Instead of physically accessing the vehicle to change SIM cards, eSIM technology allows for over-the-air updates, saving time and resources. Additionally, eSIMs offer increased flexibility, as they can be utilized across various networks, thereby expanding the range of service providers that can cater to connected cars. This flexibility ensures that car owners can choose the most suitable network provider based on factors such as coverage, cost, and quality of service.

Exploring Industrial and Manufacturing Applications of e

Industrial and manufacturing sectors are ripe with opportunities for the application of eSIM technology. With its ability to provide secure and reliable connectivity, eSIM can streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and optimize resource allocation. One key area where eSIM is making significant strides is in the supply chain management process. By enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of goods, eSIM empowers manufacturers to have better visibility throughout the production and distribution cycle. This not only ensures timely delivery of products but also helps in identifying bottlenecks and optimizing the flow of goods.

Another important application of eSIM in the industrial and manufacturing domain is in asset management. The ability to remotely monitor and track assets is crucial in industries where valuable equipment and machinery are involved. With eSIM, businesses can have constant access to asset data, enabling them to prevent losses due to theft or damage. Additionally, eSIM allows for remote diagnosis and maintenance of equipment, reducing downtime and minimizing the need for physical intervention.

The potential of eSIM in the industrial and manufacturing sectors is vast and promising. As more businesses recognize the advantages and embrace this technology, we can expect to witness further advancements in automation, analytics, and overall operational efficiency.

How can I reinstall a deleted eSIM or reinstall an existing eSIM in my new phone?

If you delete your eSIM from YOverse or lose your device, you cannot reinstall it, so if you plan to buy another plan at a later date, you will need to pay the activation fee of $0.70 Euro (which covers your eSIM for 1 year) again and reinstall a new eSIM.

How can I delete an eSIM from my phone?

If you wish, you can manually remove your eSIM. To remove your eSIM follow these steps:

Go to Settings

  • Tap Mobile data or Mobile data

    • Tap your mobile plan

    • Tap “Remove mobile plan”

If you remove your eSIM you will no longer be able to connect through this line. Any contacts you have associated with this line will default to your preferred line.

How can I allow data switching between my plans? [Advanced users]

To allow your phone to automatically select which SIM to use data from based on coverage and availability, turn on “Allow mobile data switching” in your settings. Note that if you are roaming and only want to use your YOverse eSIM or data, you should then make sure that “Allow mobile data switching” is turned off. If “Allow mobile data switching” is turned on, your phone will automatically use data from both phone plans, depending on which network is strongest at any given moment. This option is best for people who want to stay connected no matter what. There is no way to know which plan is being used at any given time, however, so this option can consume data quickly if you are not aware of it. To turn on Allow mobile data switching, follow these steps (steps may vary depending on phone model):

  • Go to Settings

  • Tap either Cellular or Mobile Data.

  • Tap Mobile Data.

    • Turn on Allow Mobile Data Switching

Your data line automatically switches for the duration of your call. Mobile data switching will not work if you are currently roaming and both eSIMs are not set to allow data roaming. Check with your provider for availability and to find out if additional charges apply.

How do I see how much data is left on my plan?

You are able to see it in the application in the “My eSIM” bubble; click on the data plan under “Active Data Plans” to view its remaining data. Once your data runs out, you will no longer have an internet connection without Wi-Fi.
